I really want to know how we can work Banelings into a hilariously extended metaphor here. :P

(Rule 5: if you haven't played SC2, Banelings were a super in-character addition to the zerg unit tree. Zerglings are able to morph into a variant called the "baneling" that's a fairly powerful suicide bomb. Rather like the "scourge" air units in SC1, except a ground-only attack. Fairly good at rushing bunkers, but die pretty fast to siege tanks.

Really loved the design though - fit the zerg ethos really well.)
